The error in your thinking is thinking this is a "functional society", it's not, it's a "functional farm". I can't even fathom how "they" can lay out any parameters they want of what's acceptable to the cattle and they will eat whatever chow is fed to them, sometimes even getting a dopamine high off making their handlers profit. It's not even a social contract anymore, it's straight up exploitation.

The fact that no one can address the actual topic is pretty suggestive OP has a point.


It is almost as if you guys are experiencing cognitive dissonance.
Are you trolling or looking for a fight? Sour grapes is always used the way it was used earlier, anyone knows that, and you are obviously trying to disingenuously "aKtuALLy" because you agree with OP.

Second, you said wage cuck before and then went "aKtually, no one said hard work"

Third, what exactly is your problem with people that work again? Remind me of your story, injured in the military and on benefits now?

If I am correct (cant remember for sure), doest that money come from worker's tax? Or corporate tax that's ultimately generated by $$$ from workers one way or another? So if I am correct are you criticising the very system that supports you and puts food in your mouth?

And none of us workers are experiencing anything close to cognitive dissonance, from anything you or OP have said. I have not seen a decent point from either of you about this. Not even close. None of us wish we were jobless and poor.

I would like to not work if I had (at least) what I make now sure, but I would rather spend time at work and have more money than "be free" and have to live like a poor person.

Probably the worst example you could had produced, their hard work is sure paying off isn't it?

They have us, and especially boomers on a drip feed of dopamine, a great brainwashing of the masses to have them believe hard work "feels good" or is rewarding or righteous, lol.



Wagies gonna wagie..
Hard work does feel good, that's different from being exploited though.

When I lounge around all day I feel like shit.

Most of the hardest work I do is for myself and my own goals, not an employer.

Correct.

The part you missing is that the feeling is generated by institutional power. It is something that was programmed into you since birth.

So I skimmed this, it is horse shit and ad hominem.

Nothing about me or my experience changes the fact that anyone who wants or needs job can get one.

I did use the term wage cuck, that doesn’t conflict with the idea I support a person working hard. A person doesn’t have to have job to work hard and plenty of people with jobs do not work hard.

You don’t understand Aesops Fable.

I don’t have a problem with the people who work. I am participating in a debate. And for the purposes of this debate, my issue is that the people experiencing cognitive dissonance because they have to work, are trying to make the people who don’t have to work seem like they are the crazy ones. That is raw brainwashing. And I don’t have a problem with people that do that, I just think it would be in their best interest if they understood that.


Your last paragraph pretty much sums this up. You don’t want to work but you feel like you have to. So you defend the position.
